Soda Drinkers Anonymous

I think I am addicted to soda. Or maybe the bubbles. My parents were in town last week which meant that I had to have Coke in the fridge for them. I, of course, then feel I need to help drink them. It always starts out at just 1, then 2, then before you know it, I am drinking them like I should be drinking water. Sometimes I am not even thirsty! It is very sad. On Sundays, when my parents leave, I insist on drinking the rest to get rid of them. Once the are all gone I go through withdrawls. Last night, all I could think about was soda. Luckily, laziness out weighs my addiction or you can bet I would have been at the gas station buying a 20oz!



And I wonder why I can't seem to stay on Weight Watchers...

Praying for good weather

Steve, my dad, and my grandpa built a deck in our backyard this week.



It took them 2 days. My dad said the hardest part was the walkway from the patio to the deck itself; they re-did it 3 times. I helped a little. Mostly moving dirt from the holes they dug to other holes in the yard dug by Elaine. I also made the fountain myself. It is that stack of 3 flower pots towards the left. You can find the instructions on Casasugar.

We got the furniture on Saturday from Wal-mart.



It is not quite as bright as I wanted but I plan to spice it up with some cute throw pillows and an outside rug. You can't really see them but we have lights around railing that make it really nice for sitting in the late evening. If the weather stays as nice as it has been I plan on sitting out there every night!
